Horizon - Glasgow To Edinburgh

[Rob MacKillop]

On the train home, but first a definition of horizon. DP1M.

And a selfie to finish...

"The scanty vale of human life" I like that.
Very pleasant images of your trip Rob. What stadium is that in the third from last?
I like the blue, impatient looking image on the small shed on one of the industrial shots.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Tom. The stadium is the home of Scottish rugby, Murrayfield. Music concerts are also staged there. I saw REM about 20 years ago, maybe less.
I think the two industrial graffiti shots are hen houses, with a million or so poor buggers cooped up. I feel like setting them free...probably do more harm than good.

 

[Tom Dunne]

or better still Rob, don't eat chicken
I assumed it might be Murrayfield. REM, a good band in their day.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, I love eating chicken, but not the cooped-up variety, that's for sure.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent journey shots Rob. I like the sequence, the industrial agin the open landscapes. Yes those chickens aught not to be cooped up.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Julian. I enjoy these shots, as you get no time at all to form a composition, yet very often you couldn't have framed them better. I suppose I could have been more careful with the horizons, but I quite like them sometimes when they are offset.

 

[Brian Moore]

Strange place for an explication isn't it? Nice set Rob.

Carpark of the Dean Art Gallery...

Carpark of the Dean Art Gallery...

Oh! (Thought it was oot the train's windae.)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, my "but first" at the top of the page hinted, maybe, that "first there is this quotation, and then there is this series". OK, I'm a cheat!

 

[Pete Askew]

I do like out of the train shots. I often take them but only occasionally show them (or even process them properly) - must try harder. Framing the series between the definition and the selfie works very well and makes them more contained if you see what I mean. Especially as the first few show the view contained by hills on the horizon. I like the fleeting view of the cricket match very much and so much more because it is clearly a fleeting view. And Jenners Depository with the reflections is very pleasing. A super set.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. The cricket match surprised me for two reasons: One, that it was a cricket match, and Two, that they were in whites. Looks the perfect playing ground too, and no annoying spectators
